I am impressed by the amount of money this crooked dealer Brian Burkel https://a-authentication.com/ or https://autographauthenticationstore.com
PRESTIGE COLLECTIBLES AND GIFTS or AUTOGRAPH AUTHENTICATION STORE spends on advertising. It seems that Burkel keeps changing the name of his company plus the url to his forged autograph store every month.I suspect that it is over $30,000.00 per month in google shopping ad clicks according to a former employee. If one does a search on google shopping for BOB DYLAN AUTOGRAPH ,you will find all 25 results lead to the https://autographauthenticationstore.com store
Please realize this works with almost any popular artist searches. Here are a few examples:
Johnny Cash-
https://www.google.com/search?q=johnny+cash++autograph&rlz=1C1C...
beatles autograph..beatles autograph
So my point is that the forger is spending literally tens of thousands of dollars every month in order to get clicks on google shopping
A person can do a search for Jimi Hendrix Autograph jimi hendrix autograph and you can purchase it for $731.00...What a bargain
You can do a search for the doors autograph with Jim Morrison doors autograph
and purchase the LP for $500.00
Please note that the company does not accept paypal FAQ
One would think that the chargebacks from MASTERCARD AND VISA would have the company thrown off.
Here is the GUARANTEE that https://autographauthenticationstore.com offers:

BRIAN BURKEL CHANGED THE URL OF HIS FORGERY STORE AS I WAS WRITING THIS DISCUSSION.
HIS NEW URL IS https://a-authentication.com/
THE NEW NAME OF THE STORE IS PRESTIGE COLLECTIBLES AND GIFTS
PLEASE CHECK HIS STORE OUT. THERE ARE OVER 10,000 FORGED ITEMS.
IF YOU GOT STUCK AND PURCHASED SOMETHING FROM THIS CROOK BRIAN BURKEL, JUST DO A CHARGEBACK WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD COMPANY. PAYPAL NO LONGER ALLOWS BURKEL TO USE THEIR SERVICES.
